Give us a little bit about yourself, age, weight, height for bindings but as for your boots you will need to visit a bootfitter to get fitted properly

Yep, sure is, seems like a pretty solid ski too, for bindings possibly look at a marker griffon. I'd definitely choose that over a squire even at your size. You could of sized up on your ski as it will ski shorter than a 147. Assuming this is the first pair of twintips you have ridden

They might stock them or they will definitely be able to help you get hold of a pair. Is this gonna be the first pair of twintips you have ridden?? Being a beginner you should be ok on a 147 but for a longer term it could of been worth it to go with something a little longer. Maybe something forehead height. It will benefit you in the long run

Thanks for helping,

but got some to ask , it doesn't matter if i used another brand of bindings?

and ya its my first time to use twin tips , but i just wondered that masterminds are made in china? is that true , or my skies are fake >.

Or course not, there are many bindings that suit many different people. If you can get to the shop then they will point you in the right direction to something that will work for you. Your skis won't be fake. Where did you order them from??
